To scrap, or not to scrap....!
Well, the past two years have been a bust when it comes to scrapping. Looking at my gallery, I was reminded that I did scrap a couple of pages last summer. Beyond that, I have spent the last two years buried in school work. I went back to college a few years back and the last two years were pretty intense. I graduated on May 14th with my elementary education degree. It only took me 30 years to get it.
This will be the first summer in over 4 years that I do not have classes. It feels pretty amazing. I am hoping to get some scrapping done, but I know I will need to come here for some inspiration. I feel like I haven't exercised my creative muscles in a while. Thankfully, some assignments allowed for a little creativity here and there. I am just so far behind in my scrapbooking now and I have a lot of stuff I want to include in albums!
Anyway, I was happy to pop in today and still see familiar faces posting. SSD always feels like a place you can come home to.

Congratulations! I hope you are able to get a job you love with your new degree.
I always find it’s hard to get back into the groove of scrapping after a long break, but once I spend three days on that first layout, it gets a lot smoother.

Yes! 3 days on a layout. That sounds about right whenever I jump back in. I did make classroom posters and such with scrappy materials recently though, so maybe 2 days!

You must be so proud of yourself! That's a great accomplishment. Maybe you should off by scrapping about that

Congrats, Sherri! I hope you find a job quickly. Being done and looking forward to a summer without schoolwork must feel amazing! Sounds like there have been a lot of good things happening for you over the last few years.
I'm back in school too, for my masters and certification in early childhood special ed. During the semester I scrap a lot less, but right now I've got a few weeks off before summer classes start.

Congrats! I chuckled a bit at the 2-3 days for your first layout. Partly because it's funny, but mostly because it's true. Luckily layouts 2 and 3 should come together quicker!

WOW!!! A huge congratulations to you!!! I find it very hard to get back into the groove of scrapping too! Especially when there is a lot going on. Right now I have my two kiddos that just turned 18 (yikes) and are about to graduate high school, prom is coming up for them, we are still in dance competition season - for both of them now that my daughter has just recovered from a 6+month knee injury. Other crazy family stuff going on and all of this while still trying to get into the groove of my new job. I'm drained! I'm definitely super unorganized when it comes to my scrapping stuff. My scrap supplies need organized and OMG let's not talk about my scattered mess of photos. I feel like once I can get that in check I can relax and get into some kind of scrapping schedule.

Congrats Sherri! It's good to see you back. My scrapping goes in fits and starts. I was on such a roll early in the year and then April hit. I'm hoping once school gets out and my schedule gets a little more relaxed I can get some pages done. My work hours are a bit reduced in the summer so I'm hoping to have some more time!

Hey... I thought I'd share (since I mentioned that I wanted to scrap about my job search)... I was offered a second grade position in the building I've worked in for the past 11 years. I am SUPER excited. This school has been my 'home' for a long time. Before I started working there, I spent 4 years volunteering in my daughter's classes starting when she was in kindergarten. I've worked there through four principals, three instructional coaches, and numerous other staff changes. I feel honored to be able to start my teaching career there as well. And, knowing me, I will stay there until I retire! LOL
Anyway, the school board has not yet met to make it official yet, so I'm not posting anything on Facebook (for those who I'm friends with) quite yet. I think they meet this week.
